'Bite Size' Training Workshops

Equipping and Enabling Creative Prayer, work with Children and Young People

The workshop aims to help discover creative ways to encourage and enable children and young people to pray. Prayer does not just need to be said in 'hand together, eyes closed' position; or led from the front. There are lots of exciting, creative, playful and engaging ways to encourage a deeper communication with God. In this workshop there will be plenty of opportunity to try out ideas within the session and time to share ideas for praying with children and young people with each other.

'Bite Size' training workshops to further equip and enable your work with children and young people. Designed to help you grow your skills to work with children and to nurture them on their journey. Bite size courses will provide creative practical ideas in three different aspects of work with children and young people.

The Bite Size training course can be delivered on any subject regarding children, youth, all age or family work. If you would like to arrange a training session (s) in your locality.
